Electronic leak detection in Curteis' Corner
We carry out electronic leak detection on flat roofs in Curteis' Corner and across London and South East England. Testing usually takes more time on a big roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Every roof is quoted on its size and build-up. You get a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed damage from equipment installers and holes around roof penetrations, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Curteis' Corner, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access in advance. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Questions from Curteis' Corner
Do you carry out roof surveys in Curteis' Corner?
Yes, Curteis' Corner is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Curteis' Corner is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
How much does electronic leak detection cost?
We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. The price depends on the roof’s size and build-up. For a quote, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How do you choose the testing method?
The method is chosen to suit the roof. Low-voltage methods are normally carried out on a wet roof and high-voltage methods need the membrane dry and exposed.
How fast do I get the report?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How do I book a survey in Curteis' Corner?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How the survey changes by roof type
Liquid-applied waterproofing
Liquid-applied coatings form a seamless layer but holes and thin areas can occur. Whether ELD works depends on the coating and build-up.
EPDM rubber roofs
ELD on EPDM depends on the product and the layers. We check before we quote.
What this survey can’t tell you
A survey is a proper look at the flat roof membrane, but it can’t do everything. Its limits include:
- Parts of the roof covered by fixed equipment
- Moisture spread under the membrane
- Leaks from plumbing or windows
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Flat roof membranes
- Green roofs
- Commercial flat roofs
- Single-ply roofs
- Liquid-applied waterproofing
- Roof terraces and balconies
DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Why get it checked now?
Some breaches are too small to see. ELD picks up breaches a visual check might miss where the roof suits it. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Curteis' Corner, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
For a price for your roof in Curteis' Corner, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.

When to book a survey in Curteis' Corner
When the membrane is buried, holes can’t be seen at all. ELD can work on some covered roofs, depending on the build-up.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- A flat roof leak that can’t be traced
Landlords with a home close to Headcorn station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What exactly goes into their report
- Are they insured for the work?
- Their track record with similar roofs
Electronic leak detection in Curteis' Corner: local notes
Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
For an older house near a landmark like Parish Church of All Saints, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. If you look after a building such as John Mayne Church of England Primary School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.

How it works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. The survey usually takes a length of time set by the roof’s area and construction, which we’ll explain when we quote. Older roofs in small places like Curteis' Corner can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
